Coupe all the way

Remember on the 68 to 72's the rear window is removable on the coupes to give more air flow. The tray is underneath in the rear.

I started out with convertibles. Had 2 63's, a 67 and then a 68 coupe. Now back to only verts. I was brought up to think of a sports car as a convertible. I drove the 67 for 5 years in Wisconsin winters w the hard top. The heater really blasted you out of a small cockpit! Now only nice days, and even if it is cool out....the heater going full blast with the top down still keeps you plenty warm!!

Nothing like riding down the road in a ragtop on a nice day.

I got hooked on the convertible when I ran my repair shop out of my garage about 15 years ago. My buddy had a '66 vert and I stored it as well as drove it for a number of years as he didn't have the time to drive it!!!!!!!!! I had a T-top in the early 80's ('76, black with black interior) that was a beautiful car but when I finally bought mine me (and my wife) had to have a vert. Her stipulations on buying a vette were: (1) convertible, (2) 4 - speed, (3) anything that I wanted after that!!!!!!!! I am the proud owner of an original '73 vert, Elkhart green, L-48, 4-speed, A/C, AM/FM radio car that is in excellent condition and am having a blast with the car. I have done some rad work over the winter, replaced some of the old seals, etc., but I will be taking the car to the Woodward Dream Cruise this summer (4 hours from home) and don't anticipate aany problems. For me a vert is the only way to go!!Sexy and fun!!!!
